Markus was bathing in the sun, letting his wings soak in them. He was comfortable, enjoying being lazy. He often acted as a kind of bee for the flowers as well, since a lot of pollen got stuck to him whenever he crawled into the blossoms of flowers.
He looked up when he could feel some pollen land on him, curious what was on a higher flower. He could see the magic of another fairy.
“Hello”, he greeted with a smile.“Mh..”, Markus hummed, thinking. “I did.”, he answered then, trying to remember the times he had mated with another kind, and how that had worked.
“We flower fairies are pretty adaptable for mating. I was with a lake fairy once, and they mate partially underwater! We can handle water pretty well, except for our wings, so that was no problem.”, he couldn’t exactly remember the actual mating though.“I do remember I was with a forest fairy once too…”, he mumbled, though he couldn’t really remember a lot from that either.
“Everyone just always kind of knew what to do. I never got taught how our kind’s mating works either and was able to figure it out.”, though he had been surrounded by other flower fairies at the time, of course.Oliver knew what to do, he had simply never been with a fae like Markus before. Bee fairies were relatively casual when it came to mating. He didn’t want to leave Markus with nothing in return for his help.
“Do you produce pollen everywhere, or is there a specific place?”, he asked, tilting his head.
“Pretty much everywhere!”, Markus replied, scratching his cheek with a finger.
“Though we don’t produce a whole lot outside of our heat. But we still absorb pollen.”, since their day to day life left them covered in pollen quite a lot, whatever got on their skin could be absorbed and used as a weak magic fuel. Absorbed just like a human absorbed lotion into their skin.
